Travel Literature

Travel writing which is valued as literature in its own right may be referred to as travel literature. Travel literature typically records the experiences of an author touring a place for the pleasure of travel. An individual work is sometimes called a travelogue or itinerary, but it is generally not written in journal format, with specific dates recorded, as in a travel journal.

Famous quotes containing the words travel and/or literature:

    Those craning birds are choice for you, songs that jump back
    To the built voice, or fly with winter to the bells,
    But do not travel down dumb wind like prodigals.

    First literature came to refer only to itself, the literary theory.
